Switching to decaf is sooo hard! I just don't feel awake! Weening myself off of caffeine before surgery next week.

I lurked around for a while too. My mind was pretty made up by the time I registered and made my first post. Then things went really fast! My surgery is next week!

Another neighbor! Best of luck tomorrow!

Cooked chicken fat free greek yogurt some seasoning - such as a sprinkle from a Ranch dressing packet, or taco seasoning

Congrats!

I am not planning on telling anyone. They are all used to my weight loss attempts, so they won't really question the way that I will be eating. Last summer I did 8 weeks on what is referred to here as full liquids - I am just going to say that is my summer diet.

I live in the Philadelphia area! Hi neighbor!

That is a boat load of water. 64 ounces is usually the recommendation for an entire day. There is no way I could get that amount of water in.

They are pretty good, and if you join their club, you get a discount.

I like the Optifast better than any of the other Protein shakes out there.

Close here too - another for June 14th!

Mine is thankfully clearing up, surgery in 11 days.

I will try that!

Me too, cissiesue! I'll be down with Deb and Cathy. -Jennifer

Cathy - hope the time change doesn't know me on my soon to be smaller ASS! Will be leaving my home 2am your time! AGH!

Hotel Lucerna - have two other sleeve sisters I am meeting there. What hotel are you?

I will be in Tijuana June 13-18, with Dr. Kelly.

I just told my husband I better have these gels taken off and not put back on. Guess I'll give my nails some time to "breathe".

I'll be watching!

Big day on the 4th, good luck to you all!

I first spoke with my Dr. On May 27th and I am scheduled for June 14th. I couldn't be happier it was scheduled so quickly. But if the timing is too quick for you, I am sure you could request a later date. I am also thrilled to be post op during the summer because I find it much easier to eat smaller quantities of food during the warmer months.

How about cute undies?

There was another post I read yesterday about ways to tighten skin. One of the tips was body scrubs -- I think it is supposed to stimulate collagen.

DITTO!

Great video - great response. I am not telling anyone before the surgery (except my husband, of course.) I just don't feel like educatiing them. I'll take it on a case by case basis after.
